[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I encourage you to read about all the horror stories of people who used AI as their friend, therapist or romantic partner. So many driven to taking drugs or suicide or whatever their negative tendency was.

And remember it doesn’t think. It just scrapes words - true or false.

I also strongly agree with the person who said to stop posting AI responses on DCUM. That’s not why we are here.[/quote]
AI does “think” in the sense that it’s modeling human thinking and it can reduce time-consuming tasks that some consider to be useless (organizing one’s thoughts, for eg).

But it’s also very concerning how it operates: at an almost parasitic level around individual and collective human thought, and perhaps eventually of the environment. Also, what are its ethics and how robust are they?

And can or will we even know what is being lost if we no longer have the skills to perceive it?

[i]“A recent study by Carnegie Mellon and Microsoft (which is a key investor in OpenAI) suggests that long-term overdependence on generative AI tools can undermine users’ critical-thinking skills and leave them ill-equipped to manage without it. “While AI can improve efficiency,” the researchers wrote, “it may also reduce critical engagement, particularly in routine or lower-stakes tasks in which users simply rely on AI.”[/i]
